The Olympic Games group is growing with the arrival of Niels Nkounkou. The former OM defender, now in Everton, will land in Japan. After many twists and turns to compose his list, Sylvain Ripoll lost Jérémy Gélin, seriously injured. “As you know, we are missing a few things, especially after Jérémy Gélin’s withdrawal. I take this opportunity to tell him that we all think very hard of him, who was seriously injured before leaving. We landed here in Korea with a small group and we wanted to expand it as much as possible. A possibility opened up for Niels with his club Everton, we obviously seized it. He will probably arrive directly in Tokyo on Sunday ”, specifies the tricolor coach.
